Re: Bodyglide? Who the heck recommended this stuff?

On the problem area of your big toe try some breathable medical tape - has numerous advantages over duct tape - little things like it breathes and the adhesive is formulated to be in contact with your skin.

You want that toe to slide like a greased pig against the inside of your sock - I suspect the moleskin was clinging to the inside of your sock - which may have actually exacerbated the problem a wee bit.

You may want to evaluate the insoles in your boots - if you're getting hot spots on the undersides of your toes you may want a slicker insole. I've never liked foam insoles (they seem to get really hot, at least for me) and rather prefer a solid leather insole - I made mine years ago - they go from boot to boot - are slick as snot on a glass door knob and fit the contours of my feet to a "T" - I don't know if anyone makes commercial leather insoles any more - but with some thick leather, a pencil to trace the outline of your foot and a pair of scissors or an xacto knife they're really easy to make. If there's a good cobbler near where you live they can probably do it toot sweet.

When I've used moleskin I've always used it in two layers - the first layer had a cutout for the blister - the second layer didn't - but that was a long time ago - perhaps uses and practices change over time.
